On the form where it says "birth father" put the father's name. Why do you think more and more dad's are finding out that they are not father's of children these days. You can also mail the father an "acknowledgment of paternity" to jail, they have notaries in jail. He can sign it and return it to you.

∙ 13y agoThe biological father has the legal right to be added to the child's birth certificate at any time, regardless of his circumstances. The only exception is if he has voluntarily given up his parental rights and the child has been legally adopted by another man.

When a child is incarcerated does the maternal grandmother have more rights to the children than the paternal grandfather if the father is not on the birth certificate?
You don't say which of the parents that are incarcerated but their rights to the child comes first. If the father is not in the birth certificate and he has not established paternity to the court so he can petition for visitation or custody and also pay child support, there is nothing that legally says he is the father. Then the maternal grandmother would have a better chance. If the father is not in the birth certificate but he has established paternity to the court so he can petition for visitation or custody and also pay child support, the chance should be equal.
